To all whom t ma-g/ concern.'

Be it known that we, lVrLLAiiD A. SPEAK- MAN and JAMns Fransen,residents of VJ ilmington, county of New Castle, State oi' Delaware,citizens of the United States of America, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Mold-Tables, of which the following is a true andexact description, reference being had to the accompanying dra-wings,which form a part thereof. Y

Our invention relates to mold supporting and transporting tables and hasfor its object to providek a convenient and effective device forreceiving the molds Jfrom the molding machine transporting them inbatches to a point where they are poured in series and then transportingthem to a point where the molds are removed and dumped and our inventionconsists in a mold supporting and transporting turntable pivotallysupporting on its upper face a plurality, preferably four, turntablesupon theV top edge of which the molds are supported. The nature of ourimprovements will be best understood as described in connection with thedrawings which illustrate it and in which- Figure 1 is a plan view ofour device.

Fig. 2 a side elevation, and

Fig. 3 a sectional elevation on line 3 3 of Fig. l.

A is the main turntable pivoted at A and supported by wheels A2 runningon a circular tra-ck B. `C, C, C, C, are pivots symmetrically disposedon the top of table A and on them are pivoted the circular moldsupporting tables C', C2, C3, C4 which, as shown, and preferably, aremade up of radial angle barsl D, D, etc., secured to a Vhub and toanannular angle plate D', D2

from which extend other angle bars D3, D3 supporting at their outer endsan annular angle plate D4, D5. From the flange D5 eX- tend upright anglebars D7, D7, etc., supporting an annular angle barl DS. D6 is an annularangle bar supported on radial bars D at the inner edge of frange D2. E,E, etc., are supporting wheels for tables C, C2, etc., and F, F, etc.,represent molds supported on said tables which can conveniently holdtwelve molds.

In operation the table A is rotated to bring one of the mold tables C',C2, etc., into a position convenient to a molding machine X forinstance. 'Bhe molds are placed on table C which is rotated to carryaway a placed mold and bring a vaca-nt place con* venient to the workmanuntil the table is filled. The filled table is then carried away and anempty table, C4 for instance, brought to position X. Table C passesfirst to position X and by a second movement of table A to position X2where the molds are poured or they can, of course, be poured at X. Afterpouring, the table C is transported to position X3 where the molds aredumped.

lt will be obvious that our device saves much handling of the molds andfacilitates a rapid casting operation.

Having now described our invention, what we claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is:

1. A mold supporting and transporting table having in combination arotary turntable and a plurality of circular mold supporting tablespivoted on the top of the turntable.

2. A mold supporting and transporting table having in combination arotary turntable and four circular mold supporting tables symmetricallypivoted on the top ol. the turntable.
